We have extracted the f: , llowing just and tribute to the memory (4 our late excellent QUEEN from The (Dublin) Correspondent -.•—• " It is justly observed of her Maje,iv, that her habits were regular, methodical, and economical — that her economy was not that which arises out of any complexional infirmity, Or of any illiberal propensity—but such as owes its character to principle—to the principle of empowering bene volence to enlarge the sphere of its offices. Many a person bas shared her Majesty's bounty in secret —and many more who never krrvw the hand which bestowed it. Ilex charities o:ere t,elect, timten tat ions, and effective. " In her youth, her Majesty was distinguished for that sprightliness of disposition, which is the • effect of.innocence and good humour, rather than of mere health and animal spirits. Her conver sation was facetious, but there was a vein of sound good sense to be discerned in it, and of dis criquillation, which evinced a familiar acquaint ance with the general motives that instigate hu man actions, while it never seemed to want that softness and delicacy becoming a female mind.— Those happy qualities, united with that whip i is the never-failing source of all domestic happiness, an uniform placidity of temper, coutribnted to rend e r the kives of her Majesty and our venerable: and beloved Sovereign, the most rare and enviable examples of connubial content and felicity that ever were found within the walls of a Prince.— ' I have now reigned,' says Abdalrahnian, above fifty years in victory or peace; beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies.—Riches and honours, power, and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happi ness which have fallen to my lot : they amount to fourteen !—O man ! place not thy confidence in the present world !' " Our beloved Monarch, and the partner of his glorious and moral reign, did not place their con fidence in the grandeur and power that the pre sent world had bestowed upon them—and, there fore, they were loved and honoured in that world, and their (ionic was blessed. For fifty-seven years her Majesty sat upon the throne of tine of the most powerful Kings that ever ruled ; and, until it pleased the Great Disposer of human events to intercept, by the malady of that King, the happi ness which both so peculiarly enjoyed, it knew of no interruption. it is not the least touching instance of that affect ion, which for so long a time had bound the heart of the Queen to that of her Royal Husband, that site watched over his days of affliction and darkness with unremitting tenderness, when he was no longer conscious of its offices. ‘.‘ Fur affection and virtue such as hers, Heaven bestowed, besides the approvals of a pure heart and a pious conscience, one of the most exquisite rewards on this side of the grave, in the filial love and piety of her Royal Offspring. Her illustrious chtldren hung over her bed of sickness t o the last moment—and the last breath of lite was pass ed hi the arms of the Prince Regent, whose af fectionate attention to his Royal Parent could not be surpassed, and whose severe grief, when all hope was gone, has been seldom equalled." Yesterday forenoon the Lotto PROVONT, Magi strates, and Council, and nine of the Lords of Ses sion, att, , uded divine service in the High Church, dressed in deep mourning ,on account ot the deat h of her Majesty the Qqeen. A most excelent and suita ble sermon vas preached on the recent loss sustain ed j i y t h e nation, by the Reverend Dr. Inglis, one of I tie Ministers of the Old Grey t - iitrs' Church, front Job vii. 16. " 1 would not live al tv,y."— In the afternoon an impressive sermon was deli vered by the Reverend Dr Baird, from Uev. xx. 12. " 1 saw the dead, small and great, stand betnre the Lord," The pulpit, King's seat, and fronts of the galleries, were htm4 with black cloth. Similar discourses were preached in different clutches. All the pulpits o f t h e churches and chapels were also covered with black. The mourning, however, was not very general, owing to want of time, as many were not prepare d w h o o th erw i se would have paid this mark of respect to the memory of her Majesty.— (Ediabugh Courant, Nov. 23 ) Only two Teets, exclusive of those of the blood Royal, are honoured with the Itoyal Goelphic Order, or Grand Cross of Hanover, viz. VISCOOnt HAMMEN and Lieutenant•Getteral Lord Um-- The most conspicuous emblem of this Order, the Star, is peculiarly neat. The White Horse of Hanover, on a green ground, and among the sur rounding rays two Swords, the blades gules, are placed en sallire. The motto is equally appro peiate—" Nec 44spera Terrent."

RE.-- , -This morning, between fonr and five o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in Gloucester court, between Gray's Inn-lane and Brook -street, ~lolborn. It commenced in the premises of Mr. Jarvis, a leather-dresser, and front th.e very -intri cate situation of the manntattory, being surround ed by a number of others of the like business, no small degree of alarm was excited ; iu addition to which, Ike number of old hoUses contiguous to the manufactories increased the apprehensions of the neighbourhood. On an alarm being given by the watchman, the whole of the inhabitants Were roused and on the alert. In a short time after the fire made its appearance, engines were near the spot. and surrounded the scene of con flagration. Having affixed the leather pipes to a considerable length, they were enabled to reach the premises; and, after about half an hour's playing, they most fortunately prevented the flanuN extending further than the premises of Mr. Jarvis, nearly the whole of which, however, were consumed. DAP.ING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY AND MURDER. On 'Tuesday night, about seven o'clock, two tut flans, with their faces disguised, knocked at the don't. of Mercer's School, College-hill, Upper Thames-street. Mr. HILL, the Master, opened the door ; one of the men deli veted Lim a note, and on Mr. HILL. going in to read it, they in stantly rnsbed in, presenting pistols, and de manding 301 immediately ; the noise and confu sion brought Mrs. HILL to the spot, who, per ceiving the fellows, raise.i an alarm ; the scholars also came forward and joined in calling for help, when the rascals, perceiving their danger, snapped their pistols, and made a hasty retreat, without further mischief. Muarnata APPRPnatinEn.—A man named bas htem :apprehended by Anthony Col poys, -Esq. in the County Clare, and committed to prison, charged with the murder of Esq. a Magistrate of the King's County, so far hack as the year 1798. Nir. Dowling ren dered himself obnoxious to the disaffected and tur bulent at that- period by his activity as a Magis trate, and had been but a short time returned from conveying prisoners to jail, when he was brutally muedel e d in his parlour, in the presence of three of his children, the youngest of whom had been in his arms when the villains entered. His eldest daughter, who was compelled to be a witness of this horrible scene, was so affected that she short ly after lost her reason. This fellow came to the County Clare a short time since, after being in America some years, and was employed as a rat catcher ; he went by the name of Malone. ROBBERY AT StoN-House.—By the indefatiga ble zeal of Davis and Robinson, officers belonging to Bow -street, some clue appears to be gained to the robbery at Sion-House. Tuesday last, early in the morning, these officers were so successful as to apprehend Taytur, one of the suspected men, at Hounslow, when making off into the coon, try. The Officers were, however, still nnassured (if the absolute fact, when, after diligent search in several houses, they discovered a quantity of lead which bad evidently been thrown into the privy of a public-house in Old Bientford, and which is deposited at Bow-street. According to the description thus given of it, this lead dif fers most essentially from all other lead covering now in use, and corresponds most minutely with that upon the roof at Sion House, near Brent ford It is painful to-add, that a respectable man is supposed to be implicated in the theft. CAUTION TO COFFEE-SOUSE KEEPERS..-- A person of respectable appearance is going about to the different . Tavern and Coffee-house Keepers to get a bed for the night, and in the morn ing taking one sheet away with him, and leav ing the other doubled op to represent two, in case the bed should be slightly looked at.— He generally comes to the horse about half-past twelve o'clock, and does not have his boots taken off, tllat it tray .not be known what time he is going, in the morning. Ile is a short young man, about three or four and twenty years of age, dandy appearance,, a little pock-marked, anti pale looking. ACCIDENT IN LOSIBARD-STREET,—Ao Inquisi tion was taken yesterday morning, at 12 o'clock, beloie Tnomas SHELTON, Esq. Coroner, at Saint 13artholonww's Hospital, on the body of Mrs. Maria Ps z, a foreign Lady, whose death' was caused by the falling of the front wall of Mr. Smith's house in Lombard•street, which was in jured by the recent fire. The deceased was - going upon some business in Lombard-strect, and was walking on the foot-path on the side of the road opposite Mr. S.'s boose, when the wall fell upon her head, depric'ect her of sight, disfigured her face most horribly, and fractiired several parts of her body; sLe died on Tuesday morning. The verdict was the same as 41 the other melancholy cas es already published. :41AAILFUL OUTUAGE. On ToesdaY e'vening, a soldier, in the nndres s of the Csnatth, went into the Black Boy public house, ',tale Tower-hill, and after drinkin,! some beer, tendered sixpence in pay m: !it, and received 'the change He Shortly afterwards insisted that the change had not been given to him, and al though several of the persons who were pres , ,Ait and saw the money handed to him endeavoured to convince hint that he was mistaken, he persisted in his demand, and at last went out of the house, threatening vengeance against every person in it. In less than five minutes he returned with twelve of his comrades, who were quartered in the neigh bourhood, and who immediately forced theinsekes into the various apartments of the house, armed themselVes with the fire irons, and commenced a general attack upon the family, I custosoers„and prOperty. Several persons effected their escape at the back part of 'he premises; others were dread lully and wounded. On their entrance they took possession of the bar, broke all the bottles, and wasted the liquor. A man, his wife and child, were sitting these at supper- - --the child was torn front the mother, and thrown into the fire-place, the mother knocked down, and the father inhu manly beaten. Several neighbours hearing the cry of minder, assembled in front of the house, but were intimidated by the violence of the sol , triers, and witnessed their thatneful conduct, with out being able to prevent it. After demolishing the rvindows-, door, and the trading stock of the house, and compelling every person to fly, they quitted the place. Mr. Arnold, the landlord, collected his friends and 'several watchmen, ants went in pursuit of the rioters. After ,diligent search tie succeeded in taking nine of them into custody, and lodged them in a watch-house.— Yesterday they were sent to Lambeth=street Of lite for examination, when the landlord applied to the sentinel, but lie refused to admit him to snake a complaint to the Commanding Officer at the Tower. The Magistrates ordered the Serjeant of the Guard to take the prisoners to the Guard house, in order to be dealt, with by military law and the Corporal, who was charged with assault ing a Constable who was called in, was ordered to find bail. TUB GREAT PUGILISTIC MATcHES.—No pugi listic combats within the itcollection of our ip formant, and certainly not since that of Big Ban and Johnson, has ever caused so much anxiety as to the result, as that between Turner and Ran dall, and next to it, that oi Scropgins and Martin. It was impossible that the first battle could take place on the mournful day which was fixed by the iicles (Tuesday next), and consequently the match in fact vas of, e until renewed by the con sent of the backers, which has been done.—The principal amateurs met ytverday , , to fix upon an '-ther day, and it was settled that the battle should take place to-morrow se'nnight (Fridays instead of Tuesday. Thousands of bets pending tiFon the event are void, and at the making good of stakes be tween Martin and Scroggins, on Tuesday night, such was publicly declared. The new betting eras as follows:—Guineas to pounds upon ; II to 8 upon illartin ; 5 to 2 the two favour ices not win ;31 to 1 Turner and Scroggins did not both win ; 5 to 4 Martin's winning against Ran dall's winning; and even betting that the first filth; lasted 50 minutes, and the second 40 minutes. FATAL Puctusm.—A few days since J. Dough and E. Smith quarrelled, while d►inking at the Ca•tle Inn Tap, Tonbridge•%Vclls, and left the house to decide tl►e dispute by a battle. After fighting for a considerable time, Smith received a blow in the pit of the stomach, fell with his head against some hard ground, and never spoke after wards ; but was conveyed hume, • and d►ed the next day. DISTURBERS OP THE DEAD. 7 -.A hackney-coach man, in whose coach were found t tvo dead bodies, and a labouring man were yesterday examined at Union Hall. It appeared that. the bodies had been stolen from Lambeth Church-yard, where they were again iiverred, but that the coachman was ignorant of what the persons who .bited hint (and who effected their escape) had put into his coach, There was no evidence of guilt either against the coachman or the labourer, and they were consequently discharged. SaGAcfovs ric.—A pig, bred by Mr. Moore, of Asp Farm, at South Wraxall, in Wiltshire, about 3 months old, was driven a few days ago to Bath, and purchased by Mr. Evill, brewer, at Bailiwick, to which place it was conveyed in a sack, and secur ed in a well-fenced stye, from which it somehow contrived to effect its escape. A few days after, Mr. Evill was surpr4ed to leant that the poor ani mal haul found its way to its old habitation, to do Which it must have swam the river Avon. It has since been proved, that it was pounded at Ba theaston, whence it also contrived to escape, and reach its native home the same day. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday Afternoon an Inquest was held at the sign of the Hope, in Black moor -street, Clare-market, before ANTHONY GEL", Esq. Coroner fur the City of West minster, on the body of Robert Reeve, who had been formerly Guard, but lately Driver of a Stage coach, who put a pet iocl to his existence, by blot% - ing his btains out «ith a pistol on Tuesday morning, at his lodgings, N. 6, Clare -court, Druly • lane•—Verdict, '' That he came to his tkrith by shooting himself, being at the time in iu state of mental derangement." 'The Middlesex Sessions will commence or, Monday next, the 30th inst. and the Old Baile', Sessions on the W,chtestlay following The gas-pipes already laid dowi in London measure sixiy•five As soon as the account of her MAJESTY'S death was received at Liverpool, the journeymen tailors d e m a nd e d dotdde wages, which the miasters no' co7,,plying with, the men immediately left thei , employ ; but as several of them had left their work in a ur►tinished state, they %Ter,• brought by summons, on Fri , fay, before the NlagiSirates at the Town-hall.
